Latte has been dropped from Debian Trixie, since it has not been updated to work with KDE 6. :frown:
MXPI = MX Package Installer
QSI = Quick System Info from menu
The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing

Well, apropos of cairo: is it possible to install its latest version in Mx, as it is in Ubuntu using ppa? I don't mean using foreign repositories.

Using a ppa in MX is not a good idea. See here:

HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Thank you for your reply. I know that mixing repositories is asking for trouble and, in my life I have not done it and do not intend to. It may be worth it for me to send a request to the developers for the package I am interested in. Once again, thank you!

@Marek Is there something specific your looking for in the later versions?

I run Cario-Dock v3.4.1 ( MX Package Installer) on quite a few machines and it is stable and I have not found anything lacking.

I am backporting cairo-dock and its plugin packages 3.5.1 from Trixie for MX 21/23 test repos, too.
